明けましておめでとうございます!

Fufu~ Was going to finish translating the rest of Jigoku Shoujo R chapter 5 tonight, but in the end I decided to make a New Year’s blog post, and some other notices~

Wow~ I can’t believe another year has gone by! I had a fun new year watching the fireworks in London~ They were really pretty! Good job Mayor of London~!

I hope this year I can continue to bring you manga releases and other nice things~ It’s nearly a year of Tama-tan too! I’ve ordered special edition volume 2 and looking forward to the new CD (I think there is one~)

Thank you too to everyone who has commented and passed by in 2009 ♥

This year I really caught up on my manga reading which improved my Japanese so much~ My favourite nakayoshi series has actually been Meruhen-chan xD (maybe just because I like these kind of weird gag series) But Watashi ni XX shinasi has been amazing as well. Even though I don’t talk about it a lot, I really love Momo too~ (Sakai Mayu is such an amazing artist) My absolute favourite  manga series has been Kuroshitsuji though ♥ Can’t wait for the new anime series xD
So, does anyone have any resolutions for new year? Even though there are many things I hope to happen this year (that I can’t really talk about here, but might be able to later in the year) I have a few resolutions!

To get hime-sama nails  (⌒∇⌒)
I really like these ones from http://www.kawaiinails.com But I’d like to make my own… (I’ll probably end up buying though…)

 ☆ To increase Japanese vocabulary by 110%  And learn how to write more kanji(^∧^) がんばります!
 ☆ To give blog a new layout OTL (I will get round to it)
 ☆ To do more work in Flash/Flex (maybe I’ll make my next layout with flash~ I’d really like to build some kind of Flex app as well~)
☆ To learn how to bake better~
☆ To keep my desk clean \(>◇<)/

Raws / Scans

Also….Nimakka has uploaded Chapter 9 of Watashi ni XX shinasai! : http://forums.mangafox.com/showthread.php?t=130308&page=2 (And might upload other series) So be sure to thank her properly!

On that note, because of some problems with leechers, I will be watermarking future raw releases (with big ‘not for scanlation use’ on them) Please, I do not want these raws uploaded to mangahelpers. Colour scans are fine, but don’t upload chapters! If you see anyone uploading my scans, please report it and tell me~ よろしくお願いします~ I’m counting on you~

Issue 2 scans for Nakayoshi (maybe Ribon) will be up next weekend, and might be password protected to stop people just giving the link out too.

Also, Hatsukoi Lunch Box scanlation post will be next weekend again too (will hopefully be less hectic this month!) I hope some people can help out again this month too!

Because I received a new scanner for christmas (it is a thing of ~beauty~) I’m hoping I’ll be able to edit the settings a bit better so cleaning is less work.

    Wow, lucky girl, you get to see fireworks! *jealous* x3

    I’m looking forward to your future posts and I don’t think I’ll be disappointed. hehe

    Wish you much luck on all your resolutions (practice makes perfect ;D) and definitely will keep a lookout if there’s anyone misusing your scans. *salutes* lol, I’m such a dork. xD;

    i wish i could see the fireworks in london as well! but this year, i saw them in paris and it was also very nice. oh, since when do you study japanese and are you studying it at a university?
    i prefer buying my nails directly at yukiumi.com instead of kawaii nails, since they also have diy-sticker-stuff there…

  4. Avi Tsunao says:

    > ☆ To keep my desk clean \(>◇<)/

    I say that too… but it gets messy on a weekly basis so I gave up. :'D
    But I'm sure you'll fulfill all of your resolutions quite nicely. Yay~! \^^/

    Layouts are a pain to change, but so worth it in the end. So good luck, and I'll be excited to see it! *cheers*

    Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu :) I am looking forward to the Ribon scans for Hiyokoi~ Thanks again for helping IMS out with that. kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

    Watashi XX ni shinasai is indeed an amasing manga. I’m loving it to bits. The shitsuji one is a little too yaoi’esque for me xD
